I had recently bought a Lezyne for MTB, and went with the Topeak race rocket HP. I like the Topeak better than the Lezyne, I now have the Race Rocket in HP and regular versions, both are easy to reach 100psi with.
Any pump can fail, I had a SKS Puro pump fail on the first use! When I ride more then 50 miles from home I take a back up pump. I also carry a presta to schrader converter, so I can use a gas station air hose, but more importantly then that so I can take apart my pump reverse the rubber grommet and use the schrader side that isn't tore up if need be. A converter is always in my saddle bag. But I will admit, a pump failure is a very rare event, that was the first time and last time I ever had a pump fail completely, but I still take safeguards if I'm going far from home; I did have a Torelli pump slowly fail over time on me due to the grommet failing but the converter trick worked for that problem.
